Hi All,
I *JUST* bought a new DLink DWL-G650 card. My Cisco Aironet card that
had faithfully served me for nearly three years finally gave up the
ghost. I am pleased to say that this DWL works. It was, however, a
gamble. There was NO mention of Linux on the box. Wasn't on sale, but
it was 1/2 the price of the Cisco card was.
You can get it online at
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=302084&pfp=SEARCH
$39.99 after a $20.00 mail-in rebate.
